Performers

Igor Levit is without doubt one of the most exciting and versatile young pianists to come out of Russia in recent years. Introduced to the English Chamber Orchestra by Maxim Vengerov (one of his chamber music partners), he has performed with the orchestra in the UK and abroad, including repeat performances (by popular demand) on the Orchestra’s Mediterranean Music Cruises.

He has also performed with many international orchestras including Israel Philharmonic. Recently appointed a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, he is currently focusing on the concertos of Beethoven; the ECO and Principal Conductor Paul Watkins look forward immensely to performing Piano Concerto No. 3 with him.
